Both ends going at the same time starting with forwards in opposite corners of the rink and defenceman at center.
1 defenceman will line up on each blue line on the same side as the forwards.
On the whistle the forward will skate with a puck behind the net turning up ice and staying to the outside of the pylon.
At the same, the defenceman are skating forwards to the boards right in front of them.
They will then pivot and skate backwards across the blueline to meet and play the forward coming from around the net in a 1on1 to the other end for a scoring chance.
Key Points
Defence focused drill
Defenceman should work on angling forwards to the boards
Also encourage the defenceman to watch how big their gaps get while playing the forwards 1on1
Forwards should work on protecting the puck and using speed to drive wide around the defenceman
Defence should have their heads up while backpedaling to stay tracking the forward coming up
